In a shocking turn of events, a 52-year-old East London teacher has been nabbed for her alleged role in a human trafficking and prostitution scheme. Vuyokazi Gana, a deputy principal at Amabele Primary School, was arrested by the Hawks on 15 October 2025. The bust follows a year-long probe into claims she lured young women from rural areas and forced them into sex work for her gain. This case has sent ripples through the community, highlighting the dark side of exploitation hidden in plain sight. Gana faces serious charges, including seven counts of human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and running a brothel. With the youngest affected person just 16 years old, the story underscores the vulnerability of young girls from poor backgrounds and the betrayal by someone in a position of trust.
